<csb> The last time I looked at web design, Geocities was still a thing, and a dodgy copy of Studio MX & free copy of Nemo(?) web editor from a magazine was all I needed. That gives you an idea of how long ago it was. </csb>
What are the cool kids using these days? I want to dabble, don't want/need to spend a big outlay, and would be nice to be able to do forms, iframes (is that still a thing?) or similar. Be nice to have either a fixed menu on the left of the site, or a horizontal menu across the top that has a dropdown. Plus points for minimal background junk shite so it doesn't hammer mobile browsing as much, or something to design mobile sites would be ace.
TIA ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

There's no shortage of free templates to get you started, typically they use CSS which will be baffling at first.
Web Expressions 4 is free from Microsoft to edit

I've used Dreamweaver for years, but increasingly that approach is sidelined by simple tools which require almost no coding knowledge. |

Does WP still have the vulnerabilities it once did?
I'd like something that can be moved about (can WP do that?) and re-hosted on own server if necessary? ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

www.wix.com is basically drag-and-drop creation.
Kind of like Microsoft Publisher, but you make a website instead. |

That's all fine and well for a very simple static site but for anything modern and interactive it's an awful lot of work - especially for someone like the OP who by the sounds of things hasn't done any coding since the days of using tables for layouts. A lot to be learned in terms of CSS, modern HTML standards, etc. even just for static stuff. |
Notepad for writing code sounds like a version of hell to me.
Visual Studio, auto-indent, auto-complete, smart-filter, keyboard shortcuts galore That's more like it.
To not use those things, would be like a mechanic deciding he'd rather use his hands to change a tyre, even with a tyre-changing machine in plain sight. |
I know what you mean, I'm sure if I had need to do something more in depth than what I do, I could learn how to use something a bit more modern.
I found CSS quite easy to learn so can do a fair amount in notepad. JQeury can do quite a lot for you too.
I tend to find doing websites (or anything that requires IT concentration) easier while I'm sat at my desk in work.. where I can't install anything on my laptop
A lot of the sites I've done have been for small sole traders, like a mobile beautician and a guy who sells heavy metal themed comic books that he writes. Nothing too fancy pants. |
